You have a couple spectators! 🤓
Me and @mikawagunichi have played quite a bit with different J1 approaches. Eager to see how this plays out! 😎
Thanks for the game. Please see my statement in the game results thread.
One tiny piece of technical advice. In the last turn, you did not make the optimal buy with Japan.
With your buy, by my odds were 75% (not counting the marine in)
The optimal buy with Japan would have been 6 armor, 2 AA, 2 inf
With this by my odds would have been considerably lower, namely 70% (instead of 75%).
I’ll just throw in a last infinitesimal attack and see if I’m super-lucky.

Scramble z6?
Although the optimum would be to not scramble, I cannot force the Aussies to miss the fun to kick some Japanese ass. So send them up please.
